Garry Richardson looks at allegations of bribery to cover up doping violations in athletics, with guests including IAAF president Lord Coe and Wada president Craig Reedie.

This week we focus on the allegations of bribery to cover up doping violations in athletics. We discuss the story's pressing issues with IAAF president Lord Coe and Wada president Sir Craig Reedie. We also hear from British athlete Lynsey Sharp, who won 800m silver at the 2012 European Championships behind Russian Yelena Arzhakova, only to be handed the gold medal almost two years later after Arzhakova had been stripped of her title for doping offences. There's also football chat as Graeme Le Saux reflects on Chelsea's latest defeat, while Eastleigh manager Chris Todd enthuses about their FA Cup first-round win over Crewe. Also, England's rugby league head coach Steve McNamara gives his view on Sam Burgess' return to rugby league.
